Name that BMW

bartman32 · 07-27-2007, 05:19 PM

In the pic below there are 6 BMW's. There is the e90,e46,e36,e30, 2002 and...
What is the other car? And which one is the e30 and which is the other car?

ward · 07-27-2007, 05:23 PM

E20 I belive was the number for that one

the 320i, around from about 76-76 to 83-84 or so

edit, on thinking a second longer it's an E21 not an E20 which was something completely different (bavaria I think)

astra · 07-27-2007, 05:24 PM

e30 is next to the e36

tintivilus · 07-27-2007, 05:38 PM

Dude, they're in chronological order: New Class (1602/2002), E21, E30, E36, E46, E90.

Thanks. I knew they were in chronological order. I just didn't know there was anything before an e30 therefore I didn't know what the other one was or which was which.
Thanks guys.

I really like the old kidney grills...any chance they bring us a blast from the past?

Acheron · 07-27-2007, 07:15 PM

E21 is correct.

ksfrogman · 07-27-2007, 07:53 PM

Right, it's the E21.

Here's an old thread with 3-series generations info:

I remember my 71 2002 after seeing one in the picture: Light blue outsie, black inside, real metal band around the body, little winglet on the windshield wiper, forward hinging hood, little chrome gas cap, tiny steel wheels, huge steering wheel, real metal grill (as opposed to black plastic grills in later models), tiny round sectored tail lights, hand-crank metal sun roof, lap belts that are attached to little chrome rails, pedals that hinged at the bottom, the sweet smell of German upholstery glue.........What a fond memory!!!

Seeing that gets me all misty-eyed thinking about my first car - 1982 E21. When I bought it, it was six years old and had 125,000 on it. Ran like a top.

The sun roof had a hand crank to open it!

God, I miss that car! Never should have gotten rid of it...........

My '78 is still in the garage awaiting some TLC.

JackMac · 07-30-2007, 09:31 AM

E21. And coincidentally, my first BMW too!

I've owned 4 of the 6 cars pictured, and this is one of my favorite press pics from the E90 debut.

SoYank · 07-30-2007, 10:02 AM

Interesting how the kidney grills have gone from tall and narrow to short and wide through the years.
